Hi... I'm Irena Moonkeeper. I was born in Stetriol. Although, I'm half Stetriolan, and half Niloan. My parents favored my three older brothers instead of me. I didn't really care, though. I always "chased butterflies", as they would say. I got my nectar ceremony the day of my eleventh birthday. Summoning Umbra was the best thing that ever happened to me! As I was celebrating with my family, Keith arrived. He said that I was safer with the Greencloaks. My parents quickly agreed. It seemed like they didn't care. Although I didn't get much love, I still loved my family. I missed them while we were sailing on the big Greencloak ship. I still miss them to this day, but Umbra always cheers me up.

hello person[s] who finds this [if anyone finds this at all, i'm just going to throw this out my window, hoping someone will find it]

is it just me, or are the adult Greencloaks acting weird? i mean, olvan just stands there yawning and trying to get us killed by sending us to get his coffee, and Lenori stands there, bear foot even when it's snowing! i don't like shoes either, but i put boots on in the winter! anyway, i guess i should tell you my story before someone sees me writing this.

i'm an orphan from amaya, i think my parents abandoned me on a snowy mountain [you know,the one that olvan tries to kill us on all of the time?], because that's where my story starts. i was only six, abandoned and half dead, when Artemis came to me. he curled up next to me, i reached out my hand, and we bonded. now i'm quite surprised by this, but i didn't get bonding sickness. i woke up the next morning, and Artemis had caught some mice for us to eat. now i know that that's gross, but hey, i was starving. Artemis taught me how to hunt, and we survived four years up on that mountain and the jungles below, but then the Conquerors came. at first we hid, then when we saw the imprisoned animals, we attacked. we somehow fought the entire conqueror squad and won, but not unharmed. Artemis had several gashes in his leg and i had suffered lots of deadly blows. we where almost dead when the greencloaks found us. i was unconscious for a few weeks, but i joined the greencloaks when i woke up. now i think i regret that desicion, seeing that i'm only aloud to leave greenhaven to get olvan some coffee.

artimis wants to go out for a run, so bye!

hi, my name is Sylva Bamboomender. I have called a gecko. i deiced to call him Hank after my grandfather. i guess i will tell you my story. i warn you i don't have a great story. i lived with my grandmother, grandfather, and 5 brothers. the oldest of my brothers is 21, and his name is Marco, then their is Jason, who is 18, then the twins Denis and Arnold, who are 16, then Harold, who is 14, and then their is me, Sylva the only girl and youngest in the family. i don't really mind though. i love my brothers. they do pick on me though. my grandmother died when i was 7. Harold named his sheep dog grandfather got him for his birthday, Marybelle, after her. on my 11th birthday someone knocked on the door. i went to answer it. when i opened it i saw a man and a woman. the man stared at me with a weird smile. the woman was tearing up. she tried to put me in her arms but i pushed her away and screamed. grandfather and my brothers came running to see if i was ok. when grandpa saw the couple he dropped the glass he was holding. he told us to go upstairs. i wanted to know who these people were. i argued with him for the first time. he yelled at me. i almost fell. he had never yelled at me or anyone for a matter of fact. i ran upstairs with tears in my eyes. my brothers and i listened to them speak. i heard grandfather say '"what are you doing here Julia. you left all 6 children here without asking or talking to your mother or i. you only left each kid on the door step with a letter that was really short. you left them and didn't even visit. You got rid of them just so you could run off with your dear husband Richard who is eating my food that i stored without asking. you know i don't like him a all. i raised you better than this. but yet you go and run off with your dear love of your life and abandon your children. yet you expect me to believe that you want all 6 children back!" at this point we decide to go down stairs and actually meet our parents. we explain we heard and we meant our parents. i didn't really speak to them. my mother gave me a big hug but i didn't hug her back. i mean would you after 11 years of wondering where they were they show up out of no where on your birthday? then my mother explained that she was here to take my brothers and i home home with them. my father said he got the papers signed for us to go. Marco asked if we had i chose. they said no. i started crying. i ran to my room, or what would be for one more night. Jason came up and started explain that mother had said they leave in the morning at first light and that we would be happy. but i could tell in his voice he didn't believe it. and neither did i. Denis and Arnold came in and told me a funny story to help me sleep. when everyone was asleep i snuck into Harold's room where he was sleeping with Marybelle. i woke him up and told him to meet me in the kitchen. we often have midnight chats. we deiced none of us wanted to leave. i knew what i had to do. the next morning i marched up to my mother before we left and told her we were not going. my parents tried to convince me other wise but i refused to go. that is when my mother grabbed me. she was hurting me. she was trying to shove me in the carriage. i screamed. my family started running to save me. my father ran and started knocking my brothers out cold. i screamed even louder. the two beasts came out of no where. a huge tiger which listened to my mother and a huge grizzly bear who listened to my father. they were their spirit animals. but how no one from my family has ever called a spirit animal before. my parents and their somehow spirit animals seemed possessed. then it happened. i was free. i was running away. i stopped and looked back to see what had happened. i saw my grandfather on my mother with the tiger trying to pull him off. i heard him scream in agony. i also heard him yell words. he said" Run Sylva! Don’t look back. your brothers will be fine. Just run. And remember that I loved you so much." then the tiger... the tiger... silenced him. my father loaded my brothers on the carriage. my mother started looking for me. that’s when I knew it was time to run. I ran for days. I didn’t stop to drink or eat. I was starving and thirsty. But mostly I couldn’t see with all the tears in my eyes. They were swollen with tears. I soon fell down on the grass and lost my conscious. When I woke up a boy Greencloak was sitting next to me. He said he’s name was Keith. He had found me as I fell. He said that he had been keeping me alive. I had been unconscious for 7 days. He told his story and I told him mine. He comforted me thought the hard times thought the story. He is actually here helping me write this. Any way. He told me that Leorni the greencloak sear had a vision of me and he was looking for me to bring to her and Olvan. He took me there and I called Hank. Now I guess I must be going Keith is saying its time to train. Here we go.

Hi there! My name is Olivia Oakdash. You like stories, but mine ain't good. But what's the harm in telling, I suppose.

I lived in a small town in Amaya with my mother, father, and brother (You'll hear from him, next). We were poor and Kato and I often had to steal things to support our family. We lived in a tiny 3 room house in the rather ugly part of town. One day, Mother got very sick. Kato and I stole medicines, but they didn't help much. She passed away when I was eight. The town gave us a bit of money, but not enough. We savored every single small meal.

On my eleventh nameday, one of the best things happened to me. I drank the nectar and summoned my spirit animal, Hermes (he's a hawk). Olvan came and collected me and Kato. He brought us to Greenhaven, where Kato and I were invited to join the Greencloaks. As you can tell, we did. I've already got my full cloak, Kato's still working on it. He's bound to get it soon enough, though.

Well, I'd better go. Kato's just got out of the shower and he wants his turn, and Hermes isn't being much help, he keeps trying to steal my quill and step on my parchment.

Bye!

Hi Abeke, before I joined the Greencloaks, I had a happy life and all. That's when I summoned Mithra,(the fox) at my nectar saramony. All of a sudon, the Greencloaks came up to me and said they needed me to help save the world from the conquerors and all. The conquerors sounded like really bad people, and I saw my chance to be important, so I joined. And guess what, I LOVED working with the Greencloaks!

I lived with my mom in Eastern Amaya, not too far from the shore. Dad had told us he would be back from his trip in time for the nectar ceremony (Dad's a traveling merchant). But it was the day of, and he wasn't here. Just my mom and a few friends who were taking the Nectar as well.

I'm afraid that my other friends didn't call a Spirit Animal like I did, but we'll see each other soon I'm sure.

I am Fae from Zhong. When my city just outside the wall fell to the conquers my father sent me away. I ran and ran until I ran into a greencloak named kieth who took me to Olavan and Lenori who told me to drink the nectar. I had just turned 12 and they thought I was special. I summoned Mithra my cheetah who is my best friend and lifelong partner. I have pledged my loyalties to the greencloaks to thank them for saving my lie. I truly owe them.

Hi Abeke and Uraza! I am a normal kid in zhong, and no one cared much of what i did. When it was my turn to get nectar, i was kind of nervous. when i had the nectar, it tasted like a nice beef chilli. Then Lulu came! weve been traveling for a while, ive gotten 3 talismans and have ran into Drina a few times. well, Lulu seems to want to go outside, she is scratching the door. Bye!

Call Me Toxin

"If you get too worried about what could go wrong you might miss a chance to do something great."

Hi! I'm Sofi. I came from Zhong, where I lived with my twin brother Kaleb. When we were nine, our parents were killed by conquerers. Kaleb and I were taken in by our aunt and uncle, who took us to Oceanus to summon a spirit animal. I summoned Rocco, and he's been the brightest thing in my life. Kaleb summoned Mei Long, named after our mother. We moved to Oceanus so Kaleb could use catch bugs and find fruit, and me, catch fish. I was taken in by the Greencloaks, for my aunt and uncle are village greencloaks. Rocco is the king of the penguins, a magical penguin from the stories, who died protecting his newborn mate and chicks. He lets me hold my breath for three minutes, swim expertly, survive cold, and fish like an expert. It is great that I get to hear from you Abeke, good luck finding the talismans!

PS- I have gotten three talismans, Jhi's, Uraza's, and Ninani's. I also have two dyes, green and purple.

I lived near Boulder City. Whenever we had free time, my parents would take me there to get something or another. I loved my Amayan home. My father worked at the local pharmacy in our town, while my mom waited tables. I loved being an Amayan and like to go on quests there.

Scarlett, my tiger spirit animal, was a big surprise. I was very well known in my town so I didn't think it was possible for me to get something incredibly rare. But Scarlett came!

I only run into Drina when I acquire a new talisman. For some reason, she never seems to try and duel with me every time I accidentally come across her. It's weird! #whatdoesSheWANT?! I really hope I never have to duel with her (Drina)!

Oh, the joy of writing again! It turns out that Worthy wanted me to answer you, sine not all of us are Greencloaks in pure. Anyways, here's the story you wanted about my recreation. It's what you wanted, isn't it?

Honestly, it wasn't my choice. I mean, Achilles and I already had a natural bond at a young age, and I was fed up with being special. So, like it or not, I became a Conqueror alongside my brother and Karmo. It was a big change from life on the run with my father, but what do you expect? He went to Stetriol and talked to Shane about using the Bile. Otherwise said, blame me for your first true friend’s (not trying to be spiteful or anything) death. Just feel free to do it. Anyway, I was told it was an effort to unite the Continents. To make the world a better place. It was all I ever wanted to do. With this amazing chance, of course I jumped at it.

But, it is true my father is Zerif, and that I am more of a criminal than Rollan used to be. I was raised by Rollan’s gang on the streets (small world, but I’m not surprised if he forgot me) and almost wanted to help get medicine for Digger, but Smarty held me back, since Rollan didn’t even know I existed. Tough, but I lived. Soon after, Smarty came back with willow extract and news that Rollan was dead. I saw through his lies, truth be told, I’m good at that, as is Rollan. When Zerif came looking for the summoner of Essix, he found me, but did not recognize me as his daughter. I was told to stay in the shadows and help is the need arose. Too bad I listened. I thought that he would finally recognize me and would take me in, but he lied. He left me to fend for myself and I found the Conquerors myself. I was slow to trust, and Shane told me the truth about the Devourer, under the promise that I would not “spill the beans.” It was a slow journey, but I made an escape plan and made it to the Mire. I am a recently made Greencloak, since I hid at the Mire and helped. I followed Raisha after her escape and found that my father was still alive after the Evertree disasters, and fled to Greenhaven with knowledge of the Wyrm’s existence. Upon my arrival, I warned Olvan and went to find the Redcloaks- who would lead me to my brother Devin Trunswick and childhood friend Karmo. Little did I know that another war would begin thanks to my actions. I met up with Shane first and then left to assemble the first force of ‘mutants,’ if you please.

My story begins when i was hunting in the field with my spirit animal jinks the husky when suddenly a councourer attacked! I was introduced to Tarik very pourley. I was taken to the castle in greenhaven the first place I went to was the kitchen and that is my story

My name is Jo the Brave, sister of your friend Rollan. I was born in Nilo but i ran all the way to Eura to escape the Conquerors. My spirit animal, a raven named Xissie, followed. Right now Xissie is pecking my hand... ow!!! Ok. I think you are awesome, Abeke! Tell my brother Rollan that I am okay and I miss him.

Ow, ok fine, Xissie! Ill get you food. Bye Abeke and Uraza!

Returning to the SAMB after a two-year-long hiatus. I hope to start anew here after a long hiatus, and say hi to old and new friends.

My name is Aisha and this is my story. Things were normal that night well as normal as things get in the secret village. The secret village is where many children of Greencloaks alies who are no longer with us live. The Greencloaks dont even know about us. My own family is gone too and because of who my father was i am now the gaurdian of the village. It was a rutine night with one small hitch Desta was turning tweleve today. That meant i get the necture which isnt a problem for me. I have a fox spirit animal named Scarlet so i can get in and out of fortresses, through walls with holes big enough for a fox, and pretty much anywhere with our trick sly illusion. I was leaping through the trees with Diana who has a panther named Phantom when we saw a strange sight. A red haired girl being chased by a wolf that now i know is Breggin. She was in route to the village and i sent Diana and Phantom to redirect the route because those two can be very convincing if you know what i mean. I was on the ground when i saw the moose and I was so close to the Greenhaven wall it wasnt fair. I tossed Scarlet though the hole we used and used ny trick just as the moose charged. She grabbed a green cloak for me from the merchant's cart and i slipped it on, grabbed the necture and was out of there in a minute flat. Then things started going wrong I was on my to the village when that girl came out of nowhere and knocked me to the ground and knocking the necture out of my hands and on near the river. I knew if i didnt get it I wouldnt have time to get another flask. I asked Scarlet to get the flask to Leya in the village who would give Desta the necture. If you have ever been pounched on by a big dog or big cat you know how it felt. I was on the ground trying to get up when I was landed on by Breggin and knocked out. When i woke up Olven and Conor were standing over me Conor helped me up and Scarlet came running and bit Olven on the arm to get them to give me space. Breggin was being given a lecture by Scarlet is my guess for jumping on me. I looked right at her Maya Cunningwatcher and I saw trouble in her eyes. Scarlet wouldnt go passive or leave my side for anything as I was walked to Greenhaven. They though since i was still wearing the green cloak I was one of the Greencloaks. They think i hit my head hard when i fell. (By the way Breggin you own me an apology.) I was stuck there for a week with Maya crashing, breaking ,running, with a wild wolf. I accually liked it there which is surprizing but i had to go home. Before i left Lori asked me where i was from and i said closer then you might think, she surpized me by saying the secret village. I fooled most of them but not her.

"How did you know?" i asked.

"I once heard of the village from a Greencloak alli and his name was Lewis Wisekeeper." She said.
